4-6Tales from the Haunted Mansion series.
Illustrated by
Kelley Jones.
Four friends obsessed with scary stories answer a summons to an abandoned mansion, where ghostly librarian Amicus Arcane tells the children horrible tales about themselves. Based on Disney's Haunted Mansion ride, these stories-within-the-story are not very scary; the main draw is each friend's grisly demise. Black-and-white sketches reinforce the pseudo-somber tone, while a rather loose plot ties everything together and sets up future installments.
